Easter Mantel 2020

I brought out a little Easter this week to brighten up 

the home and bring joy to a crazy week full of 

life altering changes.  Hubby and I journaled about 

it on Sunday, and even as we did, we had to look back 

at texts and news articles to see how quickly everything 

was moving and changing.

Everything on the mantel is in blush pinks and florals 

this year and I love it.  It is fresh and pretty and 

feminine.  Once I had a young woman come over 

and she wondered how my husband felt about 

everything being so feminine in my house.  I told her 

he loves it all.  He does have his office which is in darker 

woods.

I started with one of my MacKenzie-Childs urns as the 

centerpiece of my mantle, and I filled it with silk 

peonies and roses that I already had.  

The pink flower garlands are new this year, and I 

used a cluster of pink ribbons to dangle down the front.

These very feminine and sparkly bunnies were from 

Pier I a few years ago.  I saw yesterday that ours was 

going out of business.  That is so sad, as we have loved 

decorating from their store over the years.  

Here is a companion bunny on the other side of the 

mantel.  I used a crystal garland and another garland 

with pink and silver balls to create the base of the 

mantel decor.

The blown glass vase always tops the mantel.  We inherited 

it with our Cabo home, and had it shipped home.  It is 

secured up there with some sticky clay.  We found the artist's 

name on the bottom and searched every gallery we came across, 

until we found his work in a gallery in Wailea.  We were 

shocked at how expensive it was, so it rests permanently, 

up high and hopefully away from little children or thrown 

toys!

The other vases flanking it were from Home Goods 

years ago and I filled them with more blush pink 

peonies from Amazon.  Click here to find them.

Thanks for stopping by for a little Easter decor today!

Hope we all can weather this pandemic together 

and come out of it healthy and well and getting 

back to normal.
